" "" H. the throne, although
kALAKAUA. Invested of all pow
err having acceded to the demand for a
new constitution, and to abide by the will
of the people.
The populace assumed control Of affairs
in the kingdom on June Is, and were joined
by the Honolulu rifles and other hastily
iorganized military companies. Patrols
were established throughout the city and
guards placed over the military armory.
On the afternoon. of June 80 a meeting was
held which adopted resolution declaring
that the Government had, through cor
ruption and incompetency, ceased to ade.
quately perform it's functions. The meet
ing appointed committee of thirteen
to demand of the King that he dismiss the
Gibson Cabinet, make restitution for ST.
900 of opium bribe-money, and dismiss
Junius Kaae, Register of Conveyances,
who are implicated in the bribery. The
committee was also directed to requestthe
King to give specific pledges that he would
not interfere with the elections of repre-
sentatives or attempt to influence legisla-
ton or legislators. The Gibson Ministry
did not wait for the committee to reach
the palace, but resigned at once.
The King replied to the committee in
writing, conceding all the demands made
by the people, and on July l, after confer
ring with representatives of foreign Gov
ernments, formally appointed William L.
Green Prime Minister and Minister of For
eign Affairs, who completed his Cabinet
as follows: L. Thurston, Minister of the
Interior; Godfrey Brown, Minister of FL
nance; G. w. Ashford, Attorney General.
The deposed minister, Walter M. Glib
JNhh al 111-. - IT,
Cabinet, and Hayselden, Gibson's son-in-
law, were arrested by representatives OF
the people and are now under guard.
Gibson was arrested by lionel N. N.
Ashford, commanding the Honolulu
rifles These troops acted as a roy
al force but on the first signs of
revolution took sides with the con-
stitutional party They number about 200
and are mainly Americans and English
men.
When the committee of thirteen waited
on the King it found him in an absolute
state of trepidatlon His body guard had
disappeared and there was no one to
man any of the guns which had been
taken into the place. The King said he
would give answer at once to the de-
mands of the populace, but the committee
said it desired his reply in writing The
King on the following morning, July l.,
called upon the foreign diplomatic repre-
sentatives to assume direction of affairs,
but they declined, as already stated, wheye.
upon the reply of the King was forwarded
to the committee of thirteen.
What course the revolution will now
take is not known. The answer of the
King was accepted as an absolute conces-
sion Of every demand made, and while
there was a bitter expression of feeling
against Kalakaua it was the belief
when the Mariposa sailed that he would
be allowed to continue ON the throne,
though fears were expressed that Gibson
and other members of the Ministry might
lose their lives.
Though when the steamer left Honolulu
matters seemed to be quieNng down some
what, fears are expressed here that the
worst has probably not come Ex-Premier
Gibson is not the man to take his downfall
so quietly as the reports thus far received
would make it appear. If he is not
summary got out of the way he will,
without doubt, seek to regain his lost pow
err, and he will not stand upon the method
of his obtaining it. If he finds it possible
to incite resistance to the Govern
ment he will certainly do SO, and
then will inevitably follow bloody
civil war. Many are looking for
some such news by the next steamer
This apprehension of trouble is I'M
doubtedly shared at Honolulu, as shown
| by the fact that when the steamer
Mariposa left that city the white residents
were leaving as fast as possible. Every
state-room on the Alameda, which is the
next steamer to leave for San Fran
cisco, is already engaged.
| WASHINGTON, July 1l.-Nothing is known
at the State Department of the revolution
in Hawaii. The Adams, Vandala and a
third naval vessel are known to be in the
neighborhood of Honolulu, if not at that
port, and it is believed that they are fully
able to protect the interests of the United

| David Kalalzaua was born about 1885, He
belongs to one of the highest families in the
Sandwich or Hawaiian Islands. When King
Kamehameha V. died in 1872 there were tive
candidates for the vacant throne--David Kala-
kaua and William Lunalilo. The latter was
elected by plebiscitum which was confirmed
by the Legislature. Lunalilo died within a
twelve-month, and Kalakaua again put for
ward his claims. Legislature, especially
convened for the purpose, elected him in Feb
ruary, 1874 but the validity Of this election was
contested by Queen Emma, widow of Kane
hameha ", who died in 1863 Queen Emma was
the daughter Of a native chief by an English
woman, and was adopted by DR.. Rookie, an En-
glish physician on the islands, and before
her marriage with Kamehameha was known as
Emma Rookie. The dispute threatened to re-
suit in civil war, the adherents to Emma hop
ing that the British Government would refuse
to acknowledge Kalakaua, who was presumed
to be hostile to European influence in
the islands; but in 1874 Queen Victoria
sent letter to Kalakaua congratulate
ing him upon his accession, and his right vas
then admitted In the autumn Of 1874 Kali
akaua decided to visit America and Europe, and
the United States Government dispatched
steamer to convey him to San Francisco,
where he arrived November g. Kalakaua is
